Sounds way to cheap to me for a town house , maybe that’s the problem he thinks it’s only £9 , if it were £12-15 he might be more inclined to lay on time m I used to experience this with a few customers years ago they were always cheaper jobs , also it’s always a gamble relying on one job to get to another , if they move die or cancel you are stuffed , just make the most of it while it lasts , I don’t take on jobs like this now as Ime not prepared to be jumping over fences anymore ????Wondering for some advice from you guys?
I have one persistent late payer , he has an extremely nice mercedes on the drive and his wife has a nice car too. They live in a new build but on the end of a row if 3 town houses.
About 2 months ago the middle house got in contact with me and asked me to clean there windows (on reccomendation of next door) on a monthly basis, but as its the middle I have to go through there house and they would prefer me not to. So they agreed between them that I can hop over the fence between them to clean the back. The new customer pays me in the same day everytime (3 times now), but I'm having problems getting money from Mr mercedes every month for last 3 months. I send reminders, he reads them and still no money until about 5 reminders have been sent. If I drop him I lose access to the other house. I charge £9 each for these houses and there so easy, 3 windows front and 2 windows back and patio door. I can have both done in 20 mins and £18 in back pocket.
But he's really starting to annoy me but by dropping him I'm also going to have to drop the middle good paying house.
